Appropriate technology

There is something quite comforting to me about these facts:

I'm sitting near my woodstove (fueled by Demon Tree wood) writing on my laptop, warm and cozy

the wind is howling and the snow flying and it's 24 degrees outside.

a pot of ham and beans and a second one of rice are simmering on the stove top

tortillas are warming in the oven.

Life is good at the moment.
